Amazon cancels, delays wave of warehouse plans as e-commerce demand cools

So, Amazon—the retail behemoth that can deliver anything from a thumbtack to a trampoline—has hit a little pause button on its warehouse expansion plans. It’s like they’re saying, “Hold up, let’s recalibrate our Prime delivery drones.”

Picture it: A bunch of architects and project managers sitting around a table, scratching their heads. “Should we build another fulfillment center in the suburbs or just turn Jeff Bezos’s garage into a mini-warehouse?”

But hey, it makes sense. E-commerce demand isn’t always at peak frenzy. Sometimes people want to step outside, feel the sun on their faces, and buy a real-life ice cream cone (not just virtually add it to their cart). 🍦

So, Amazon, take your time. Maybe plant a tree or two while you’re at it. And when the next wave of online shopping hits, you’ll be ready with those shiny new warehouses, humming with efficiency.

In the meantime, I’ll be here, pondering whether my next purchase should be a book or a llama-shaped pool float. Decisions, decisions! 📚🦙
